Here's a link for Greenville, SC. A town that had many of the same problems Toledo faces....But, they turned it around. It all started with enhancing the town with shrubs, flowers and lights.

"Downtown Greenville is the
pre-eminent business center of the upstate
accounting for over one-third of the total
office space in the Greenville/ Spartanburg
metropolitan area with almost 3 million square
feet and the largest concentration of headquarter
offices in the region."

I have a friend who goes to college in Greenville, and the city no longer has their minor league hockey team either. This hockey team was a championship team, but they got moved or something.
Aren't we bringing in a hockey team here soon?
Act cooperatively to accomplish the goals of moving forward and upward.
What other city in this area could we team up with, to do the same?

Czarlton is on to nothing. Bass Pro didn't come here because they knew Toledo was not and is not friendly to business. No business of any significance is going to move inside the city limits until Czarlton is out of office.
its going to take more than just Carty being out of office. Although, thats a start. Toledo's condition didn't happen overnight.
The whole city from elected officials to citizens at the very least need a change of attitude and policy. As in anything in life....our attitudes need to become more positive and actually believe it can get better...only then can we get the right people together to implement a plan that will actually work.
My wife and I are looking to possibly move to Greenville (if she gets a job she interviewed for). I found this interesting. My house in Toledo is tax valued at $180,000 and appraised by realtor that it should sell for about that. We pay $1352.00 every SIX months in taxes on our 2143 square foot home built in 1966...with some needed updates here and there. The house we're looking at down there was built in 2001...has 2650 square feet and the asking price is 199,000. The property taxes are $1,320 ANNUALLY! And, the neighborhood is far superior to the one we live in here.
But I think its easier for most Toledoans to just complain and gripe and keep electing the same type of people to push the same types of policies.
On Bass Pro...I find it ironic that so many people are surprised that a store that sells fishing supplies didn't open a store on a river that we can't or atleast shouldn't fish in.
